On Thursdays we review albums that are considered “classic”. This week it’s the classic album that introduced us to Kanye West, The College Dropout. This album is still today considered one of the best, if not the best, freshman albums of all time (up there with Nas’ Illmatic and 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’). This album, released by Roc-A-FellaRecords, was the album that people told the young producer that he could never make. Instead however, not only was it pressed, but it was received with wide critical acclaim and gave us classic hip-hop tracks like ‘Jesus Walks’ ‘All Falls Down’ ‘Through the Wire’ and ‘Slow Jamz’.
His glory days may be too much behind him, or he may need to work with new promoters, either way Ma$e just performed a show in London for a crowd of just dozens.
Last night we traveled to our neighbor to the north (Milwaukee), and caught the fourth show of Hoodie Allen’s People Keep Talking Tour, featuring Chiddy Bang.
In anticipation of their upcoming tour, Run The Jewels (Killer Mike & El-P) perform their track ‘Early’ on The Late Show with David Letterman, off their newest project Run The Jewels 2.
